Not long ago, reading in a great English review, it was remarked, and remarked quite truly,

“ It is doubtful if in any other country than India so large a proportion of the reverently high-minded have agreed — and acted accordingly — that the greatest and eventually happiest use to which they could apply themselves was the assiduous seeking and the intrepid finding of God, all else in life being accounted as subordinate in importance”.

"I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have notseen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I haveseen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber,that I do not think we would ever conquer this country unless we breakthe very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and culturalheritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old andancient educational system, her culture, for if the Indians think thatall that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own,they will lose their self-esteem, their native culture and they willbecome what we want them, a truly dominated nation."
